Betawatch: January 12 - 18, 2013

ArcheAge is soon to launch in its native Korea, marking the end of its testing, and the English site for the game has just received a revamp which is hopefully indicative of an upcoming release. But while players on North American shores won't be able to jump right into the game, they can jump into several other games that have just entered testing, such as Broken Realm's already open beta. And European players can look forward to the beta test of Dragon Nest starting on February 27th.

Need more potential games to test? Jump on past the break to see the full list, and let us know if there's anything we missed (or a game that sneakily added a cash shop) in the comments!

Massively considers a game to be in open testing if it has open, public signups and plans for a server wipe before its official launch. Self-described "open beta" MMOs that have soft-launched with functioning real-money cash shops will not be listed.

We consider an MMO to be in closed testing if it features either future test signups or an ongoing semi-private beta/alpha that cannot immediately and freely be accessed by the general public. Some are restricted by NDAs.

Betawatch is Massively's weekly report on the latest MMO alphas, betas, and other games still meandering toward an official launch. From ArcheAge to World of Warplanes, it's covered here, complete with sign-up links so that you too can perform the unpaid quality-control work otherwise known as game testing. Drop us a comment if we've missed one!
